Golf club head cover

ABSTRACT

A golf club head cover comprises a main body and a holding device. The main body comprises a bottom wall, a peripheral wall surrounding and extending outwardly from the bottom wall, a top wall surrounding and extending inwardly from the peripheral wall, and an open-type holding chamber defined by the bottom wall, the peripheral wall and the top wall. The holding device is coupled to one end of the main body so as to provide the advantages of holding the golf club in the golf club head cover easily and observing the patterns and characters on the golf club head distinctly.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to a golf club head cover, and more particularly to a main body that couples to a holding device golf club head cover so as to insert the golf club into the golf club head cover easily and observe the patterns and characters on the golf club head distinctly.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The golf club head covers most commonly seen on the market are integrally made of a flexible, elastic material, and their golf club head covers have respective openings on respective one ends for insertion thereinto of respective club heads. Therefore, the outsides of the club heads can be covered with the golf club head covers to achieve the purpose of protecting the club heads.

However, during its practical use, the foregoing golf club head cover has the following drawbacks: (1) The opening of the golf club head cover is so small that the user must spend a certain force to attach or detach the golf club head cover from the club head that has a certain size, causing the inconvenience in use and resulting in the probable club head damage if it is fallen down due to unstable holding by the user. (2) The user is likely to take the wrong golf club since the user cannot see the mark, the pattern and the name on the club head directly if the club head is covered by the golf club head cover, causing the inconvenience in use.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

In view of the above-mentioned conventional drawbacks, a major object of the present invention is to provide a golf club head cover that allows the golf club to be inserted into the golf club head cover easily and allows the patterns and characters on the golf club head to be observed distinctly.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned and other objects, the present invention discloses a golf club head cover comprising a main body and a holding device.

The main body comprises a bottom wall, a peripheral wall surrounding and extending outwardly from the bottom wall, a top wall surrounding and extending inwardly from the peripheral wall, and an open-type holding chamber defined by the bottom wall, the peripheral wall and the top wall. The top wall has an opening formed thereon.

The holding device is mounted on the main body. The holding device has a supporting portion, a gap portion gradually narrowed from the supporting portion toward its center, and a holding chamber defined jointly by the supporting portion and the gap portion.

According to such a structure, the conventional drawbacks can be improved so as to provide the advantages of holding the golf club in the golf club head cover easily and observing the patterns and characters on the golf club head distinctly.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, a golf club head cover in accordance with a first preferred embodiment of the present invention is shown. The golf club head cover 10 comprises a main body 1 and a holding device 2 disposed on one end of the main body 1.

The foregoing main body 1 comprises a bottom wall 11, a peripheral wall 12 surrounding and extending outwardly from the bottom wall 11, a top wall 13 surrounding and extending inwardly from the peripheral wall 12, and an open-type holding chamber 14 defined by the bottom wall 11, the peripheral wall 12, and the top wall 13, wherein the top wall 13 has formed thereon an opening 131 extending to a neck on one end of the main body 1. Furthermore, the main body 1 can be made of a foam material, a polyethylene (PE) air bubble film, an ethyl vinyl acetate (EVA) plastic material, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) or a thermoplastic rubber (TBR), or any combination thereof. In addition, the main body 1 can be also made of a plastic material with elasticity and flexibility such as PU, CTC, and so forth to achieve the purpose of protecting a golf club 30, as shown in FIG. 4. Besides, the main body 1 has an integrally formed structure or an assembled structure.

Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 5, the holding device 2 is made of an elastic material such as a metal or a plastic material. In addition, the holding device 2 is mounted on one end of the main body 1. The holding device 2 has a supporting portion 21, a gap portion 22 gradually narrowed from the supporting portion 21 toward its center, and a holding chamber 23 defined jointly by the supporting portion 21 and the gap portion 22. The gap portion 2 is designed for detachably holding a club body 31 of the golf club 30 (shown in FIG. 4) so that the club body 31 can be disposed on the supporting portion 21 and held in the holding chamber 23.

Referring to FIG. 3 and FIG. 4, during the use of the golf club head cover in accordance with the first preferred embodiment of the present invention, a club head 32 of the golf club 30 is slightly tilted by an angle and inserted into the holding chamber 14 via the opening 131 of the main body 1. Thereafter, the club head 32 is rotated forwardly, and then the club body 31 of the golf club 30 is pressed into the holding device 2 to be fixed therein. On the contrary, if there is a need to detach the golf club head cover 10 from the golf club 30, the holding device 2 only needs to be expanded outwardly to allow the golf club head cover 10 to be outwardly detached therefrom. As a result, the user is enabled to observe the sign, the pattern, or the name on the backside of the club head 32 via the opening 131. Therefore, it is easy to use, and it is very easy to insert the golf club 30 in the golf club head cover 10 or detach the golf club head cover 10 from the golf club 30.

Referring to FIG. 6 and FIG. 7, a golf club head cover in accordance with a second preferred embodiment of the present invention is substantially constructed in the same manner as the first preferred embodiment. The difference consists in that the holding device 2 is integrally formed with the main body 1, and the holding device 2 has mounted therein an elastic device 24 with a shape conformal to the holding device 2. The second preferred embodiment is used in the same manner as the first preferred embodiment.
